Chapter 7

A nun, a devil and a mercenary walk into a church

Abandoned Church:

A couple of days passed without incident, since Haru had infiltrated the Fallen group with the help of Raynare; helping to establish his identity as Luke Fernandez, an Italian Stray Exorcist that was recently exiled from the church due to "heretical behavior." So far the operation looked just the same as any other Gear Recon group that Azazel usually sends out.

But the silence and inactivity couldn't remain and right now Haru is feeling really annoyed at the news he just received, he didn't know if these guys were incompetent, ignorant or stupid but the hothead of the fallen group AKA Dohnaseek somehow thought it was a great idea to attack Issei under the pretense he was a stray in the middle of a public park at night and to make matters worse he only threw up a haphazard barrier that a child could bust through which lead to the idiot being discovered by the Gremory Peerage.

Now that normally wouldn't have been a problem as in any other place it could be easily swept under the rug, except for one little tidbit, that Kuoh town is the territory of not only one but two Maou relatives under an agreement between the Yokai and the Shinto faction as well as the Devils ,so it isn't exactly the most welcome place for any unauthorized supernatural activity and any stray report should directly go to either of the high class Devils responsible of the area or their superiors otherwise it can be considered hostile action against the devil faction and would be dealt with as such, in layman terms the idiot nearly caused a war between the Fallen Angels and the Devils because of his actions.

Haru thanked whatever gods there were that Rias was cool-headed and decided to let him off with just a warning, a rather merciful action Haru thought considering how affectionate the Gremory are usually towards their servants, the only possible way it could have been any worse is if the dumb bastard had attacked a member of Sona Sitris peerage, not only would he had been most likely killed in the attempt but if Sona's sister heard of the attack, then it wouldn't be that hard to think of the response from her older sister, everyone knows that she is a hardcore siscon so if Dohnaseek had attacked her younger sisters peerage there probably would be a full blown war breaking out.

Aside from this incident nothing eventful happened other than that they were getting a new special recruit today, a former holy nun if the rumors that were floating around the stray exorcists working under the fallen group, thanks to Raynare's intel Haru has had a few days to prepare for her arrival above everything, Asia Argento cannot fall into the Rouge Fallens hands even if her gear isn't especially powerful, if Kokabiel got his hands on it would be a disaster, the warmonger was already enough trouble to deal with without the ability to heal his wounds in a fight.

The plan was simple, Haru would arrive at the church in his disguise and assume his fake identity and wait for Asia to appear, once she's arrived at the church either be the first to greet her and offer to give her a tour of the city under the pretense of showing her the way around or getting her something filling to eat. If that failed for whatever reason the backup plan would be that Raynare would burst into the church and order him and Asia to a "contractors" house, once there they would explain the situation to Asia and leave a few fake bodies in the house and burn it to the ground leaving no trail for either the Fallen Angels or the Rouge Exorcists to follow.

Speaking of said exorcists Haru scanned through the group for a certain silver haired stray exorcist, one Freed Selzan, at first he seemed like your average stray exorcist who usually tended to act either confused or angry at the loss of their beacon of hope that was God and the Church but Haru saw beyond that façade, the guy seemed way more informed, attentive and skilled than the rest -even his so called superiors- so far and showed a great deal of blood-lust whenever the topic of fighting was mentioned to the point that even most of his colleagues were actually very weary of him especially when the guy went into the gory details of his kills.

According to this info Haru suspected that Freed was probably a mole within the group, which made sense from what he gathered from Raynare and his observation so far all the Stray Exorcists and the Fallen Angels stationed in the church were mostly a bunch of low-level fighters, ill equipped and misinformed to stay and operate in hostile territory and most of their actions and orders seemed more suicidal than anything clearly indicating that they were probably used as unwitting sacrificial pawns in a larger scheme to antagonize the devils and fray the already shaky peace treaty.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Haru sensed two presences approaching the church they were currently based in, one was obviously human female and judging from the holy traces in in her aura she was probably the nun Asia but the other presence was what actually startled Haru for it was none other the newly incarnated devil he saved from Raynare, the one and only mega pervert and self-proclaimed "Future Harem King" Issei Hyodo.

'What is that idiot doing here, is he trying to get himself killed?! I have to make sure no one else notices him or the whole job will get botched 'Haru thought angrily as he quickly scanned the exorcists around him before he started to smirk getting an idea as he walked towards the silver haired exorcist who was currently bragging about some of his kills to a few other exorcists who looked generally appalled by what the obviously disturbed man was saying.

"And then I gutted him out with my sword, maaaaan the blood was flowing out of the shitty heretic like a fountain, gahahaa …hmm who the fuck are you?" the crazy silver-head stopped as he saw our hero approaching him with his face hidden behind his purple hood.

"Hello, Freed-sempai ,my name is Luke Fernandez, the new recruit Raynare-sama brought last week ,nice to meet you" Haru replied politely while hiding his disgust at the guy's bragging of killing a "heretic" which was code for a devil contractor, a person who summoned devils to form a contract with them in exchange for a service for a price.

Most of the people who summoned devils were ordinary people with exceptional circumstances in their lives like a single mother struggling to look after her baby and go to work to provide for her family, instead of paying for a babysitter, summon a devil he or she performs the service and at the end all she has to do is sign a piece of paper and give them something that is equal to the service.

Haru couldn't find it in him to blame those kind of people for summoning devils, even his clan avoided confronting the devil contractors unless they abused the system and harmed innocents in some way or form so hearing Freed boasting about killing someone that could have been an innocent man or woman made him sick to his stomach.

"Hmmm, so you're newbie what do you want from the great me? Ooh ooh you probably want my suuuper autograph don'tcha? Well tooo baaad for you I don't have a pen on me so why don't you scurry off and let the big boys finish their conversation" replied Freed brushing him off.

Haru bit down on his tongue to stop with replying with a sharp retort, while doing so would get the same result he wanted it wouldn't be as effective so he calmed down and replied in a neutral tone.

"Actually I heard a lot about your skills Freed-sempai and wanted to see if you're interested in spar" Stage One rope Freed into a spar, drawing attention to them from the other Exorcists and hopefully the Fallen Angels.

That got Freed's attention as a gleam appeared in his eyes "Hooo, you want to take on the great me? Ok then I'm gonna show you who's boss around here you little Noobie!"

'Hook, line and sinker' thought Haru as he and Freed went towards the sparring area followed by the other exorcists who were curious about the crazy guy who wanted to fight Freed, 'Stage One complete'.

"Now what is with all the noise going around?" came the voice of the blue haired fallen Kalawarner as she approached the excited exorcists with her fallen comrades in tow behind her looking rather annoyed at the spectacle.

"The newbie is going to face Freed-sempai in a duel" answered some random exorcist

"Hmmm, isn't that the cute boy Raynare brought last week? Wonder how long he'll last, he looks tough, oohh this is going to be exciting, please let them do it" chimed the ever excitable Mittlet with Dohnaseek agreeing with her as he always loved watching a good fight.

Kalawarner finally registered what Mittlet had actually said and shot a look of curiosity at her, the Noobie was rather mysterious, rarely ever talking to anyone and always standing in the corner silently watching everyone from underneath his hood, he was intriguing

"Mittlet, how do you know he is cute, he wasn't let his hood down since he arrived and those robes hide what he looks like really well." Mittlet giggles into her hand and seems to be quite embarrassed and motions for Kalawarner to come closer and whispers into her ear.

"I accidently saw him getting changed out of that robe of his, he is quite fit even from the back I could tell that he was quite the hottie hehe." Kalawarner looks a little bit surprised by this and looked at the Noobie with a glint in her eyes that sent a cold shiver down Haru's back.

"Sigh, ok, ok I'll let it slide this time, but don't make a habit out of it we don't want to damage this place any more than it already is, and no lethal force or weapons allowed understood?" Kalawarner warned and hands the two some weighted practice bokkens for them to use for the spar.

"Ready?" the fallen referee asked as each of the combatants, they each nodded in confirmation as they waited for her signal to start "Go" and on her signal the match started.

Freed took off like he had springs on his legs while Haru remained still, a calm look on his face as Freed quickly trudged the space between them with barely restrained battle-lust as he slashed at Haru. Haru blocked Freed's overhead slash before dodging a kick aimed at his stomach and then a somewhat over-extended horizontal slash before retaliating with a somewhat lazy slash of his own which was also blocked by his opponent.

Truly Freed was fast and skilled especially for a human -and swordsmanship wasn't Haru's strongest point as he preferred to keep it a last resort and used mostly a combination of martial arts and magic- but it wasn't anything Haru hasn't seen before, though from his experience he knew it's better to overestimate your opponent than underestimate him and regret it later so he just kept calm while countering trying to keep his movement measured without showing much of his true skills.

Thwack, Tack, swish, swoosh the match continued for a while as the continued to parry and block each other but it was clear that Freed was getting annoyed at not being able to land a hit on Haru who hasn't made a single movement of pure offense towards him and that his anger was starting to affect his performance as it became more aggressive but sloppy, a mistake he hadn't realized until it was too late as he put too much strength into a slash aiming to break Haru's guard.

However the disguised mercenary managed to see through that tactic and with skilled footwork quickly pivoted behind Freed aiming his bokken towards the formers neck tapping him lightly signaling the end of the match in his favor, before extending his hand for a friendly shake.

"Haha, great match Freed-sempai, I guess I lucked out this time right sempai?" Haru smiles lightly behind his hood and moves to shake Freed's hand who looks stunned with wide eyes and his mouth was hanging open, Haru grimaced, Issei and Asia were right outside the church, just a few more minutes was that he needed. Haru forced his hand into Freed's and gave it a stiff shake before handing the bokken to Kalawarner who actually looked a little happy with the result of the spar.

In truth she was extremely happy to see Freed getting knocked down a peg or two, the man was a menace always bragging about his kills and even when he wasn't he constantly pestered her and Mittlet with invitations to have sex with him. He had tried it with Raynare when he first met her in the church and that ended up with him nearly being impaled into a wall via light spear after he had propositioned her in her chambers

Haru walked away and headed to the doors hoping beyond all hope that everyone was too busy to notice the small amount of demonic energy that Issei was releasing as he approached the church, this was one of those times where Haru lucked out and actually thanked God.

Issei was so weak and had such low amounts of demonic energy that none of the Exorcists or the Fallen Angels noticed him even when he was right outside the church, however a new distraction was soon to grab everyone's attention.

"Don't fuck with me you piece of shit rookie!" That shout was the only warning that Haru received, he was so focused on reading Asia and Issei's position that his combat senses had dulled.

Freed had lost it, he couldn't handle losing to the new guy who made him look the fool, he couldn't accept it, he wouldn't, the rookie would pay for it. Freed looked at the rookie walking away and his anger flared, reaching a hand into his robe he brought out his gun and aimed at the back of the rookies head.

"Don't fuck with me you piece of shit rookie!" Freed squeezed the trigger and let off a shot right at the back of the rookies head, time seemed to slow to a crawl as the light bullet traveled towards Haru's head, when it was about to hit him, Haru moved in a flash of speed at the very last second, spinning around in a pivot on one foot, he got out of the way of the bullet, however it grazed his cheek leaving a small cut on the side that dripped blood onto the floor.

The bullet sunk into his hood knocking it down from his head, exposing his face to everyone in the room, Haru narrowed his eyes at Freed and disappeared in a blur of movement and reappeared in a crouch in front of Freed who looks down in shock.

Thump! Crack!

Haru buried his fist into Freed's chest cavity, cracking the insane exorcist's ribs and sending him sprawling onto the floor holding his chest in quite a bit of obvious pain and a stream of curses that would make a navy seaman blush. Haru lookd down at Freed's fallen form, his eyes narrowed into slits, his teeth bared, "Never attack me from behind again coward." Haru shakes his head and pulls his hood back up, much to the dissatisfaction of Mittlet and Kalawarner.

When the two women had seen Freed about to blow Haru's head off with his gun they moved to intervene but they reacted too late and saw everything, while Haru had moved at speeds that the human eye couldn't follow the Fallen Angels saw everything including what his face looked like, they couldn't help but be a bit surprised and a little bit attracted to him after seeing his dark black hair ruggedly handsome face and emerald colored eyes.

A creak of the door behind them attracted everyone's attention, Haru turns around and sees a timid looking blond haired girl with teal green eyes, wearing a black nun's outfit with a white veil standing at the door looking very nervous and unsure of herself, her eyes darting around the inside of the church and passing over everyone inside, once she sees the Fallen Angels she looks a little bit frightened.

She didn't move from the door, hugging the door frame like it was a lifeline for her, Haru took a look around and seaw all the Exorcists staring at her, Haru shook his head and walked over to her, once he reached her he kneels down so that he was eye level to her and holds out his hand, "Hello there, my names Luke Fernandez what's yours?"

The nun looks at him with big innocent doe eyes and speaks broken Japanese with a heavy Italian accent, "My name is Asia… Aregento… Pleased to meet you." It was obvious that Asia didn't really know much Japanese so Haru decides to cut her some slack and spoke to her in Italian all the while thanking God that he had to take up the language due to pulling some jobs for the Vatican from time to time.

"Pleased to meet you Miss Argento we have been waiting on you for some time." Asia's eyes lit up with happiness that someone was able to speak her natural language, she smiled a smile that just seemed to be so full of childish innocence and happiness that Haru could't help but smile back at her.

Asia then realized what exactly Haru had actually said, about them waiting on her and flew into a stream of rapid apologies, stating that since she didn't know the language she couldn't find her way around, nor ask for directions until a nice boy showed her the way.

Haru smiled widened at that, his hunch about Issei proven to be correct, underneath all that perversion lied a kind hearted boy, if it wasn't for the lack of a filter on his mouth then he probably would be popular with girls, Haru snapped out of his thoughts to still find Asia in a state of panic and still talking rapidly, deciding to ease her worries he helds up a hand in front of her face and smiled kindly, "Its ok Argento-san, it's not your fault that you don't know the language, now then go and unpack your luggage and come back here once you're setteled down, in the mean time I will speak to Kalawarner-sama."

Asia nodded her head, grabbed her suitcase and walked quickly across the room, keeping her head down and refusing to look at anyone, Haru was reminded of a timid rabbit seeing her like this, he felt a pang in his heart, 'A girl like that shouldn't be involved in all this crap, she's too young and innocent, fucks sake she should be more worried about making friends and make up, rather than Fallen Angels and Devils, I swear if I had a choice I'd get her out of here and take care of her myself and let her have the peaceful life that she deserves but sadly that's just not possible.'

Haru shook his head sadly and walked over to Kalawarner who has been staring at him since the end of the spar, her eyes haven't left him since it ended and it was starting to make him a little worried, especially since his hood got blown back by that idiot Freed, there was no possible way that she knew who he is, his face was only known by high ranking members of the factions, Azazel, Adjuka Beelzebub, Gabriel, Sirzechs,Grayfia and none of them would be stupid enough to leak what Wyvern actually looked like so why the hell is she staring at him so intently.

As Haru approached her Kalawarner smirked and her eyes seem to glint in the dull light of the interior of the church quick as a flash she grabs him by the collar and hoists him up to her eye level, his hood falling off in the process revealing his face and his wide eyes, Kalawarner looks deep into Haru's eyes as if she is searching for something before smirking and a strange glint appears in her eyes as she drags his head closer to hers, she nods, "Yes you'll do."

Haru gulped and buried down his instinctive reaction to just break out of the hold, it would blow his cover and he can't fail, not here and certainly not now, not when he was so close to getting Asia out of the church unharmed. Steeling his nerves he looked dead into Kalawarner's eyes.

"I'll do? What do you mean Kalawarner-sama?" Kalawarner smirk widened before she yanked Haru towards her and slammed her lips into his in a fiery, forceful kiss.

Haru's mind went blank, his body goes practically limp in Kalawarner's embrace, Kalawarner deepened the kiss and forced her tongue deep into Haru's mouth which restarted his brain and overloaded it at the same time, Haru's eyes swirled around in his sockets as his brain tried to comprehend why Kalawarner was currently Frenching him deeply.

Kalawarner ended the kiss suddenly, her intruding tongue snakes its way out his mouth leaving a trail of saliva linking their mouths. Kalawarner's flushed and had a look of deep satisfaction and lust on her face as she stroked her fingers lightly under Haru's chin her eyes glinting with humor and lust.

She smirked, "See you later tiger, I look forward to continuing this later on, ja ne." With that she struts off with her hips swinging slightly, leaving Haru and the other Exorcists who witnessed the event with their jaws on the floor.

Haru broke the awkward silence with the only sentence that was repeating in his mind at the moment, "What the hell just happened?" That broke the silence and all the Exorcists as one creak their necks round and stare daggers at Haru who was still rooted to the same spot his eyes wide in confusion and disbelief.

As one they all say the exact same thing;

"Lucky bastard!"

Haru looked around at all the Exorcists staring daggers at his head and sweat dropped at the amount of sheer killing intent they were sending his way which was equal to the amount that Sirzechs had released at him when had first meet him which made it damn impressive and more than a little bit intimidating.

Haru's palms started to sweat a little bit from the pressure coming from the Exorcists around him, this was only made way worse when he noticed that Kalawarner and Mittlet were looking highly amused at his situation, thankfully Asia proved to be a literal savior in this situation as she chose that exact moment to come up from the hidden passage underneath the altar.

She took a look at the situation tilting her head cutely her innocent eyes shining with innocent curiosity and confusion.

Haru let out a sigh of relief, now that the attention was off him, he sharply turned around and bowed to Mittlet and Kalawarner, "I will take Miss Argento around the town and familiarize her with her surroundings as well as explain her role from now on, and after that I will take her to Raynare-sama." With a wave of his hand he walked over to Asia and dragged her by the hand out of the church, the poor innocent nun looking heavily confused about the whole ordeal.

Once out of the church Haru relaxed his guard a little, just being around that many Stray Exorcists and Fallen Angels really got his blood pressure mounting to extreme levels and he was close to just blowing his top off and burning the whole church down around them but that would only make things more difficult in the long run, still it did grate on his nerves to let someone like Freed off with nothing more than a few cracked ribs.

Psychopaths like that who enjoyed in causing other people pain and torment and delighted in killing needed to be killed, they were no different than a Stray Devil expect that they had the capacity to be even crueler and twisted than even the most vile Stray Devil.

Haru shook his head to clear his thoughts and looked back at Asia who looks a little uncomfortable and withdrawn, Haru grinned at her and patted her shoulder to reassure her, "Don't worry Argento-san we are just going to have a nice relaxing day out together to get you used to the city and once we are finished I'll take you to Raynare-sama to introduce you to her."

Asia smiled warmly at Haru and nodded happily, once again Haru was taken aback how sweet and innocent the young nun was.

The rest of the day was spent showing Asia around the city, Haru pulled out all the stops for the sheltered nun, taking her to an amusement park and letting her go on all the rides that she wanted, taking her to an ice cream parlor and such. The entire time that Haru spent with Asia he felt as light as a feather, all his worries and burdens seemed to just float away, he was genuinely happy just spending time with her, making her smile and laugh, heh he even managed to get her to pout cutely when jokingly swiped a bit of ice cream onto her nose the sight of that pout had him giggling until his sides hurt.

It was nice to just spend time with her without worrying about anything, no Fallen Angles, Stray Exorcists and traitorous Fallen Angels, just him and Asia together getting to know one another and having a good time in each other's company.

As dawn approached the two spent some time in a small arcade off the main shopping district, Haru happily won Asia a cute plushy from a claw machine on the street and was watching her hug it tightly and smiling. Haru's smile went melancholic, 'I wonder if this is what it feels like to have a little sister, every time she smiles and laughs I just feel like I want to wrap her in my arms and protect her from everything in the world to protect that wonderful innocence, I wonder if I would have made a good brother had you been fortunate to be born Hikari.'

Asia noticed right away that something was wrong with Haru, his smile was bitter and tears were running down his face, she walked over and wiped them with her sleeve, worry taking over her, "Mr. Luke are you ok why are you crying?" Haru looked startled at the realization that he was actually crying in front of someone while thinking of the past, something he hadn't done in years.

He chuckled bitterly, "It's nothing Miss Asia just thinking of the past, I haven't thought about that particular memory in years, I was 5 and my mother told me that I was going to be a big brother, I was so excited to finally have a younger sibling as I didn't have many friends my own age and I always wanted a younger brother and sister. I used to sit for hours resting my head on my mom's tummy talking to the baby, day after day I just loved it, heh my mother thought it was the cutest thing so she let me.'

Haru smiles happily thinking of one of his happiest memories that he had spent with his mother before the attack, "I remember that when she found out that she was having a girl, we kept trading names back and forth, we spent weeks trying to find a name that we both could agree on and my dad was no help at all because he was always so busy so it was up to us, still we couldn't agree on a name as and it lead to the only argument me and my mother ever had on a riverbank outside our home, heh we got so caught up in arguing that we had completely forgotten the reason we were there the first place to watch the fireworks. They went off and startled us, we must have looked so idiotic standing there with our mouths wide open in shock and we did, I burst out laughing at the look on my mother's face and she did the same at me. She decided to name her daughter Hanabi in honor of the fireworks, I said no 'Hikari suited her more as when she would be born she would be the "Light" of our lives'.'

Asia smiled warmly at the story and couldn't feel but happy and a little jealous of Haru having that kind of relationship with his mother, something that she had never had but she quickly squashed it and wiped away the fresh tears running freely down his face once the memories of the attack assaulted his mind with a vengeance this time focusing on the light spear piercing his mother's stomach and womb ending two innocent lives in one cruel moment, one life that hadn't even gotten the chance to live.

Asia abandoned her attempt to clean Haru's tears and wraps him in a warm hug shocking him, hesitantly he wrapped his arms around her carefully, and slowly they sink into each other's comforting embrace, no words need to be said and no questions need to be asked they both just needed each other's comfort, one a nun exiled from the only place that she called home and had never been given the opportunity to interact with any person her own age and make friends the other a hardened mercenary that had lost almost everything that mattered in his entire life.

Pretty soon the tears stopped and they let go of each other, Haru smiled and ruffles Asia's golden hair, took her hand and pulled her up, "Raynare-sama is probably waiting for us, and we shouldn't keep her waiting much longer."

Asia nodded silently and let him guide her to their destination, although it had only been a few hours they had been the best few hours of her life to date, he had made her feel so warm and special throughout the day, he always did things to make her smile, laugh and always made sure that she was having a good time, silently she wondered if this was what it was like having a friend.

The two walked quietly through town to Haru's house, by the time they got there the sun had already set and the moon was out in its full glory, Haru opened the door to his house and motioned for Asia to go through first like a proper gentlemen something that made her smile just a little despite the tense mood.

Raynare was sitting at the kitchen table and that was about all that was normal about her appearance, her clothes were basically charred rags, her hair was wavy, charred and steam was still raising from her head and she was involuntarily twitching from time to time, over her shoulder Clone Haru was grinning evilly, "I said you were going to pay for your teasing and yet you didn't believe me, keep at it and I'll take the training up another notch hehehe."

Raynare glares daggers at the clone and huffs at it, she had honestly hoped that he had forgotten about her little victory over him the other day but apparently he hadn't and it had shown in the training session that she and the clone he had left behind went through. The clone hadn't held back on her and started to use even more unpredictable tactics and moves against her to catch her off guard and boy did she ever pay for it, by the time the session ended she would almost have guaranteed that she had looked like a roasted turkey, what made it even more annoying was that the clone thought it was frigging hilarious and wouldn't stop laughing.

Haru took one look and palmed his face lightly and grunted, "Raynare go on upstairs and get cleaned up then we can explain things to Asia." Raynare shot him a look that promised painful retribution and marched upstairs, Haru watched her as she stumbles up the stairs, her muscles obviously still quite sore from the workout that his clone had given her. Haru snapped his fingers and the clone bursts into flame that traveled back into his chest and he absorbs its memories of the past few hours.

Raynare was showing significant improvement in her training, she now had a reasonable amount of control over her light magic to the point that she could form light daggers in the air around her and shoot them at targets while still keeping two formed in her hands, currently she could only form three extra daggers as creating any more in the air taxed her concentration, any more than three and they would all explode rather violently. Her speed and dodging had really improved, he could barely hit her with a standard fireball anymore.

But where she had really improved on was her tactics and her imagination, Raynare despite being hot tempered was capable of coming up with strategies and plans, mid combat if given the time she just had to watch her temper and she had taken Haru's advice to heart about her powers.

She had progressed to changing her light magic into different forms that suited her fighting style, at mid to long range combat she could use her light spears and her light daggers to great effect, it was only thanks to Haru's combat instincts that allowed him to dodge her light daggers at full power, those things were as fast as they were small and deadly.

Her light spears on the other hand were another matter, she had come with the idea to be able to use them for more than just a single use throw able weapon so she expanded on the idea and came up with something that had shocked Haru immensely.

In close combat she could shorten the spear and form a light shield that looked like a medieval tower shield in her other hand, Haru could say for certain that it was a good idea, he should know ,his clone had tested that shield durability and it held even against some of his more destructive spells, the only downside was that Raynare needed to train more with it to get used to the weight of the shield and learn how to properly fight with a spear shield combo.

It was a good idea and had potential but Haru told Raynare to hold off using in a fight or in one of their more serious spars until she had gotten more experience in using the combo.

For now Raynare was faster, could use up to five light daggers at once with enough power in each dagger to punch through solid rock, had an untested fighting style with a spear and shield and could dodge and follow attacks at just below Godspeed.

Haru smiled, she had improved but it was still not enough, there was simply just no way that the two of them could attack the church by themselves, if Raynare was a little bit stronger and they had more time it could have been possible, but now that Asia had arrived their time was quickly running out.

The ritual preparations would be finished in a matter of days and with Asia now in country the Exorcists and Fallen Angels would now be keeping a close watch on her. So that left Haru with his original plan, go to Rias Gremory for help and call Azazel using his personal line of communication, inform him of the situation and get his permission for a strike on the church.

Haru sighed as he offered Asia a chair to sit down, the young girl looks really timid and confused as anyone would be seeing a Fallen Angel looking so beat up and a man turning into fire and traveling into another man's chest.

Haru smiled underneath his hood and lifted it off his head showing his face to Asia for the first time today, she gasped sharply at the sight of him, an exact copy of the man that turned into fire, Haru smirked at her confused expression.

"Relax Asia I mean you no harm, in fact just the opposite, I want to keep you safe and the only way I can do that is if you trust me, you do trust me don't you Asia?" Asia nodded her head slowly and Haru smiled a little before getting serious.

"I don't know why you were exiled from the church, they aren't well known with being loose with information, what I do know however is that someone has taken advantage of you, you were brought here with only one purpose in mind, to extract your Scared Gear Twilight Healing and give it to a Fallen Angel cadre Kokabiel. I don't need to tell you how bad that result would be so I and my partner Raynare are going to do everything in our power to help you." Asia looked down and tears start to fall down her face, she started to sob uncontrollably at the kitchen table, Haru seeing this gets up and wrapped her in a comforting hug.

He whispered in her ear, "Relax, like I said we will keep you safe Asia, I promise you that, unfortunately neither of us can protect you from Kokabiel or whoever is with him, there are only two of us and neither of us are strong enough to fight him right now, so I will have to pull some favors, the local devils under Rias Gremory would be more than willing to take you in and protect you, the only catch is that you would have to become part of Miss Gremory's peerage, you would have to become a devil Asia, but I can guarantee you that you would be well looked after and happy with them, you'll be able to have a reasonably normal life, go to school and make lots of friends like you told me you wanted to right?"

Asia paled at the mention of devils and looked worried but brightened upon once Haru reassured her although she still seemed unsure about the whole matter so Haru moved in for the kill, "I will also stick around and watch over you, if they do anything you don't like or mistreat you then I'll get you out of there at all costs Asia I promise."

A different sort of tears start to fall form Asia's face, tears of happiness and relief, relief at finally finding hope and a friend as well as happiness for meeting Haru and having him care so much that he would stay and watch over her like a protective older brother, the raw emotions that she is feeling overpower Asia and she leaps up from the chair and buries her head into Haru's chest wrapping her arms around him and sobbing quietly into his robe.

Haru wrapped his arms around her sobbing shoulders and held her close to him, letting her sob away and get all of her pent up emotions out, he smiled despite only having known the girl for a couple of hours her innocence and naivety touched him and he already was developing a fierce protectiveness over her like an older brother.

Haru smiled softly and mentally swore an oath that he wouldn't let anything or anyone harm the little girl in his arms or God help them. Raynare cames down the stairs and saw Haru hugging the girl closely with a smile on his face, immediately an ugly feeling rose up inside her and in her mind, she saw herself throwing the little whore against the wall and impaling her on a light dagger but that feeling died out the minute that she realized what Haru would most likely do to her if she did that.

Raynare snapped out of her jealously and saw the tears running down the girls cheeks and took a good look at Haru's smile, it was gentle and comforting not flirty and his eyes held no lust at all in them only warmth, the look on his face stirred another different feeling in her, heat built up in her heart and if she was being honest that kind of look on his face made her burn with desire for him but now wasn't the time for that.

"Haru?" Raynare's voice cracks slightly, although her brain told her that he was just comforting the girl, her emotions are still being difficult, couple that with Raynare's own insecurities and she had a damn good reason to be a little upset at the scene, Haru just looked over and smiled warmly at her making her heart skip a beat.

"I just explained to her what's going on, once we have dinner, I'll call Azazel and let him know the situation if he has any information that could be useful then it will be good to get it directly from him, after that we take Asia to Gremory-san and ask for her support, it's highly unlikely that she won't jump at the chance to attack the church after Dohnaseek attacked Issei plus we are giving her a perfectly legal excuse along with another very useful member to add to her peerage, the benefits are massively in her favor."

Raynare nodded her head confirming that she heard and agreed with the plan although he had already told her this before, he was just going over it verbally for Asia's sake so she wouldn't be confused or worried about what they were going to do.

The three sat down at the table and slowly ate their dinner that Haru had made for them, it was nothing too special just a few bits of beef and some roast potatoes as he had been too busy and active the entire day to put much effort in making a huge meal for them all so that had to do, despite the simplicity and the rather lack of options the two girls still enjoyed his cooking and Haru got back some much needed energy that he was really going to need later on if the night went the way that he expected.

Once they were finished up, the three got up and headed out to the ORC, by the time they got there the moon was completely out and darkness descended onto the city of Kuoh, fortunately with the Student Council President and both of Kuoh's Great Ladies as Devils the school gates were left open providing them with an easy way to get into the school without having to fly over the wall. They arrived at the ORC and Haru knocked on the clubrooms door with a "Come in" responding from inside.

Haru, Raynare and Asia walked in and stumbled on a very peculiar sight, Rais, Akeno and Issei sitting on the sofa in nothing but towels holding Issei very closely to the boy's obvious enjoyment judging by the massive blush and the lewd grin on his face.

Haru froze in place, Raynare blushes in embarrassment but that quickly turns to anger at the sheer perversion shown in front of her and Asia looked down at the floor with a look of shear disappointment and hurt on her face and whimpers, "Issei-san"

Haru's brain starts to process all the information in front of him, 'three people, one high priority principle that I'm meant to be guarding, my childhood best friend and the resident pervert, semi naked, cuddling on the sofa, lewd grin and blushing, Asia being hurt….

The temperature in the clubroom spikes to an insane degree, Haru clenches his fists and grits his teeth hard enough that you could hear the bones creaking and the grinding of his teeth, flames spurt and envelop his fists, shadows cover his eyes and spring up around his back into a powerful illusion, pure darkness with red blazing flames springing up with a huge mighty great red dragon staring down at Issei, flames bellowing from its maw, red eyes glinting dangerously.

Issei immediately jumps away and into the nearby corner shivering, completely terrified by Haru who shakes with pure rage at the little pervert, his voice comes out deep and almost demonic, "Isseeeeei! You're dead!"

As Haru was about to put Issei's head through the wall, Akeno actually came to the poor boys rescue by shocking Haru in his left ass cheek shocking him out of his rage, Haru slowly creaks his neck round to look at her with a mock betrayed look on his face, Akeno takes one look and giggles into her hand. Rias cuts in hoping to save her Queen and Pawn from the mercenary's righteous fury, although she saved the information on his reaction in the back of her mind for review later.

"Not to interrupt Dragneel-san but I take it you came here for a reason and not just to kill my cute Pawn?" That snaps Haru out of his little funk and the heat in the room dies down to the natural temperature, Haru takes a few deep breathes to calm down and sat down on the sofa opposite Rais and her peerage members, Raynare and Asia immediately sat down next to him, Raynare looking around the room and Asia looking straight down at the coffee table in front of her."

Haru coughed into his hand to get their attention, "I'll get right to the point, after Raynare kindly informed us of the situation with her group and the traitor within the Grigori we went back to the church to find out more information, turns out that the Fallen Angels and the Stray Exorcists up there managed to get their hands on one of the old perverts experiments.

An Artificial Scared Gear called Gear Ripper, it was originally intended as a way to safely remove a Scared Gear from its host for a lot of different reasons the main being for research on them but it was declared a failure due to the fact that every subject ended up dead once the gear was removed from them, apparently no one can survive having a Scared Gear forcibly removed from them so the project was scrapped and all devices destroyed or they were supposed to be at least."

Haru paused as Akeno came over with a tray of hot tea for the three of them, he nodded his head to show his appreciation, Raynare mumbled a thank you and Asia smiles warmly, bowed and said thank you quite honestly. Haru took a long sip to wet his throat, silently loving the taste of the tea, it was sheer bliss in a small cup to him.

Putting aside the heaven that was swishing around in his mouth he saw that Akeno while smiling was faking it and just underneath her eyes lay a maelstrom of hate and anger all directed to him and Raynare. Haru mentally groaned at this, deep inside he felt as if she had struck him, seeing his once closest friend looking at him such malice cut him deeply.

Haru buried his feelings down deep as he continued on, "It was then we learned of Asia, she possesses a rare Scared Gear Twilight Healing capable of healing anybody regardless of race, she was recently exiled from the church for reasons unknown and was brought here for the sole purpose of having her Gear extracted and given to Kokabiel for him to use… I shouldn't need to tell you how bad that result would be, he is already powerful as he is but to add the power to heal his wounds and he would be near invincible."

Rais and her peerage members listened to Haru quietly and by the looks of shock and awe on their faces they understood how bad things could get if Kokabiel succeeded.

Rais however was interested in another matter, "So why then did you bring her here if the Kokabiel is after her, that makes me and my peerage a target to him and if he has turned traitor for whatever reason then he might now care about breaking the peace treaty this has the potential to start another war!" Haru holds up a hand, silencing Rias.

"I understand your concerns but Kokabiel isn't here, he is still at the Grigori main HQ last time I checked, and believe me I have already put some of my contacts on alert the very minute that I knew who was behind this, trust me if Kokabiel even so much as sneezed in the direction of Kouh I would be informed immediately, but that is not why we are here. We are here to make a deal with you."

Rias raised an eyebrow, "You want to make a deal with a devil, Dragneel-san you've got my attention so make your offer." Haru hid a smile behind his cup, he liked that kind of attitude and he could respect her for it.

"Tis quite simple, you accept Asia here into your peerage effectively putting her out of the Fallen's reach and gaining a powerful and useful member at the same time, provided that you don't mistreat or abuse her in any way of course and second you help us attack the church, while me and Raynare may be able to clear the church ourselves the probability of success with just us two is low so we need help and I'm turning to you for this Gremory-san."

Rias looked shocked but that quickly turned to delight, she looked at Asia with a pleased face but with a little bit of concern mixed in, "Are you sure this is what you want Asia-san?"

Asia looks up at looks at Issei and blushed a little bit, she meekly nodded her head, " I really want to be friends with Issei-san and he well he told me all about school and it sounded fun and exciting to me so…" She trailed off her limited Japanese and embarrassment limiting her from saying much more, Haru leered at Issei and seemed to mentally communicate with him.

"Hurt her and I'll rip off the thing that makes you a man!"

Issei stiffened and started to back away from Haru even more, both Akeno and Rais sweat dropped at how easily intimidated Issei was of Haru if a simple glare could have that much of an effect on him, Rias quickly made up her mind it was a win/win for her, she gets a new powerful peerage member and gets to legally attack the Fallen Angels intruding in her territory however one thing was bothering her.

"If you don't mind me asking Dragneel-san, why are you giving Asia over to me, surely you are capable enough to protect and hide her on your own."

Haru sighed deeply, "True if didn't have business here then I could hide her somewhere safe with some of my contacts but as for protecting her, the answer to that is no I wouldn't be able to, in a straight up fight Kokabiel would wipe the floor with me, if I have time to plan and trap the fuck out of the battlefield then maybe I would stand a chance but as I am right now I wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance against him."

Rias and Akeno look a little bit curious about his abilities but hold their tongues on the matter, Haru nodded at them and gets up, "I'll call Azazel now and get the go ahead, once you're ready we'll plan our move on the church."

Haru stepped out of the room leaving Raynare and Asia alone with the peerage and called Azazel on his personal cell phone.

Ring Ring… Ring Ring… Ring Ring

"Hello"

"Hey old pervert what's up!"

"Dammit gaki how many time do I have to tell you to stop calling me that!"

"Well you're old and a pervert so there you're an old pervert!"

"'Sigh' What do you want kid?"

"It's about that Gear Recon Team you have Kuoh looking over Issei Hyodo."

"What about them."

"Simply put Kokabiel turned them rouge and countermanded your orders the leader Raynare attempted to assassinate Issei, luckily I was in the area on another job and ran interference, he's now part of Rias Gremory's peerage however."

"Dammit any more bad news?"

"Yes they managed to get a hold of a Gear Ripper and they were planning on using it to rip out Twilight Healing out of Asia Argento and give it to Kokabiel."

"Fuccck."

"Right well good news is that I've taken Raynare under my wing and I'm training her up, on a side note old man you should get your head out of the lab and take a look at what your recruits are learning, seriously I've had a harder time getting cats out of frigging trees than fighting Raynare the first time."

"Yeah yeah get on with it!"

"Sheesh keep your beard on anyway we just handed over Miss Argento to Miss Gremory in return they will help us attack the church, I was just letting you know. So any rules that you want to add before I start planning the assault?"

"'Huff' alright, try not to kill too many of the Exorcists they are quite valuable, if any still try to kill you then you have my permission to kill them as for my subordinates well I'd prefer them to be unharmed but I'll leave it up to your judgment, Wyvern if they need to be killed then so be it."

"Roger that sir, I'll call you after and inform you of the situation by the way you should check your staff, Raynare has been trying to get into contact with you for weeks.

"Will do Wyvern good luck kid."

Haru hung up the phone and walked back into the clubroom to see Asia laying down on the floor with demonic energy now coming from her, he quirked an eyebrow and clears his throat loudly to get everyone's attention.

"Alright we have permission to attack the church, so take a look at these blueprints here." Haru spread a blueprint onto the coffee table that showed the churches structure and interior.

"Most of the Exorcists and the rooms are down here in a secret chamber underneath the altar, the room is enclosed and sealed with only the one exit so close quarters combat is a given fortunately I managed to get in contact with one of my suppliers who dropped off a few early birthday presents for me."

Haru pulled out a few black bulky orbs from his robes and a few gas masks, "This here is a new knockout gas the Americans were working on, it'll knock an Exorcist flat on his back in seconds and they'll be out for at least half an hour unharmed apart from a major headache when they wake up, the rules of engagement are to subdue if possible only aim to kill if absolutely possible, that includes the Fallen Angels is that understood?"

The firm tone in his voice like a drill sergeants makes everybody in the room stiffen their backs to attention and take his words to heart as they knew that they probably wouldn't like the consequences if they disobeyed him although Kiba didn't look happy about it at all.

"Here's the plan Germory-san, Himejima-san and Raynare will approach from the back and deal with any guards, meanwhile Toujo-san, Yuuto-san, Issei-san and myself will attack head on through the main doors taking care of any guards inside and make our way down the to the chamber, once we reach the door we pop the knock out gas inside and bar the doors, once a minute had passed we put on the gas masks and clear the chamber and destroy the Gear Ripper. Once that is done we all meet back outside the main doors and I'll call Azazel and we wait for backup to arrive."

Everyone looked over the blueprint and followed along with his plan, it was simple and yet precise and well thought out, they all agreed, Issei scooped up Asia and took her to a spare room in the clubroom to put her to bed so that she would be comfortable while her body adapted to becoming a devil.

Abandoned Church Front Doors:

"So who wants to do the honors?" Haru smirked underneath his hood, he couldn't wait to see the look on the Exorcists faces when they saw him in his disguise fighting alongside the devils it would be priceless. Koneko silently moves forward to the doors and gives a monotone, "Hiya" as she punches the doors right off their hinges and barreling right into the interior with a mighty crash!

"HOLY GOAT FUCKING SHIT BATMAN!"

The tense atmosphere just got deflated from the completely insane shout from inside the church despite being in "Mission Mode" Haru sweat dropped slightly and chuckles a little bit at the funny reaction before turning to his allies and motioning for them to push forward with a nod of his head.

The four ran into the church and found Freed and two other Exorcists stranding there looking rather eager to start a fight, Freed took one look at Haru still in his disguise and practically salivated at the thought of killing him, "So the Noobie was a shitty devil lover after all, gooood I can't wait to kill you shitty fucking Noobie!" Haru smirked under his robe and threw it off of him in a dramatic style, revealing his mission attire.

A black tank top, black combat boots, black jeans all hugging his body snugly and giving him freedom of movement, he also took the time to fit two steel bracers to his forearms and steel toecaps to his boots.

"Let's go!" With that shout everyone springs into action, Kiba immediately engaged Freed in a sword fight, Koneko grabbed a nearby bench, swung it around and threw it at an Exorcist slamming into him, knocking him out, Issei promoted to Rook shrugging off a burst of light bullets the Exorcists fires at him and struck him right in the gut, his fist kept traveling into the Exorcist and sent him right into the back wall.

Haru stayed at the back and observed the peerage in actions, 'Not bad but not great either, going to need more combat data in order to make profiles for them but first.' Haru jumped straight in between Kiba and Freed blocking Freed's lightsab- I mean lightsword with his bracer.

"Mind if I cut in? Hehe Kiba, Koneko, Issei go ahead to the chamber, I'll handle this punk!" The three nod and charge on pushing the altar aside and disappear beneath the church leaving Haru and Freed to duke it out above them.

Back of the church

While and the others were attacking from the front Rias and Akeno teleported behind the church using their seal and arrive in the woods at the back unseen, as they move closer however a voice from above the trees breaks the silence.

"I told you they would attack from the back Kalawarner and you didn't believe me mehhh!" Mittlet was sitting in a nearby tree pulling a face at Kalawarner who was floating above her looking right at the two devils with a small grin on her face although with a slight twitch in her right eye due to Mittlet's childish taunt.

"So it would seem, I'd never think you devils would have the guts to attack us so openly but then again what else should you expect from lesser beings such as you, now then time for you to die I'm afraid." Kalawarner raised an arm above her head and forms a huge glowing blue light spear in her hand, she reached up to grab and throw it when a small pink missile flies through the air and slams into the spear, shattering it to pieces and stunning Kalawarner and Mittlet.

Hovering above their heads was Raynare a cold expression on her face as she faced down her two former comrades who froze in shock of the sight of her.

Kalawarner however recovered quickly, "Raynare what in the name of God are you doing? You're helping them! You hate devils more than anything!"

Raynare maintained her cold façade but internally hoped and prayed with all her might that these two would believe her and it wouldn't lead to a fight.

"We have been duped Kalawarner, Kokabiel had no authority to change our orders at all, he has betrayed the Grigori, Azazel-sama has charged me to work together with the devils to stop his mad plan to destroy the peace treaty between the Three Factions, we were nothing more than pawns for him to use and throw away once we served our purpose and I for one won't stand for it!"

Kalawarner and Mittlet looked from her face and to the devils on the ground, outnumbered and outgunned it was an obvious choice of what to do next, "Alright I believe you, you would never work with devils willingly so I trust you, Dohnaseek is still down in the chamber preparing for the ritual we have to get to him and tell him to call it off, I'll open the back entrance."

Fallen Angel and Devil alike followed Kalawarner to the back wall of the church, she pushed in a certain brick and the ground beneath it lowers down into a grassy staircase, the 5 allies move in down into the chamber."

With Haru

"Well that was pathetically easy Freed I was expecting more of a challenge from the strongest Exorcist sent here but I guess I was overestimating your abilities." Haru looks over at Freed who is battered and beaten with a few minor burns covering his arms and some of his hair singed off from Haru's fire the Exorcist couldn't even touch him once Haru got serious with him, staying out of his swords range and bombarding him with fireballs forcing him to drastically dodge to avoid them, followed quick bursts of movement and magic reinforced blows quickly brought their little scrap to an end.

"'Huff, Huff' FUCK YOU, YOU SHITTY DEVIL LOVER I WON'T LOSE HERE TO YOU SAYONARA SUCKA!" Freed threw a small orb onto the floor which produces a blinding flash once it cracked upon the ground blinding Haru and allowing the insane Exorcists time to escape. Haru brought down his hand from his eyes and blinked a few times to stop the dots blinking around his eyesight and looks around, not seeing Freed at all he spat on the ground in disgust at the coward and moved down the to the chamber.

Down in the chamber was a scene of horror, the Exorcists were all knocked out from the knockout gas Haru had given Issei and the others but it wasn't them that he was worried about, Koneko was lying against the far wall, a spider crack above her and blood dripping down her forehead, Issei was lying face down in the center of the room his clothes torn in places and two light spears through his knees and Kiba was knocked out a few meters from Issei his hair bloodied and messy, several of his swords surrounding his unconscious body and there hovering above them was Dohnaseek with three pairs of gleaming black crow wings flapping ominously with a cruel smirk on his face.

"What the fuck have you done you piece of shit!" Haru leaps at Dohnaseek angrily fists a blaze ready to take the cocky prick down, Dohnaseek looked up at Haru and the smirk widens he cocked his right arm and a black steel gauntlet appears on it with multiple holes riddled in it.

"Artificial Scared Gear: Sonic Destruction Gauntlet!"

A blast of wind surges from the holes and a piercing ear splitting noise emits from the holes, as soon as it reaches Haru he covers his ears and screams in agony at the sonic attack, his enhanced senses working against him doubling the pain of the attack and making affect his motor functions and sight due to his inner ear being effected by the attack. Haru slams to the ground in a heap still screaming from the agonizing pain in his ears.

Dohnaseek cackles at the sight, "Oh how the mighty have fallen eh Wyvern, yes I know who you are you annoying little shit, I had you pegged the minute I saw your face, it really paid off installing that spy camera in Azazel's office otherwise I would have never have known who you were, but thanks to that I came prepared all I had to do was to get one of Kokabiel's loyal subordinates to steal this little beauty from Azazel's lab and send it to me and I have you right where I want you after your dead, I'll find that little slut of nun take her gear to Kokabiel and under his leadership a new war will start.

Oh the chaos, the blood, the thrill of combat there is truly nothing in comparison to it this peace is false and weak we Fallen Angels deserve to stand at the top of the food chain and no fucking human is going to get in my way!"

Dohnaseek landed on the ground next to Haru and stuck a boot into his gut lifting him off the ground and flying into the ground a few meters away, "You have any idea how much of a fucking eyesore you are to me you piece of scum, a lowly human like you doesn't have the fucking right to fight on par with a superior race like us, your very existence makes me sick, that's why I am going to end you in the most painful way possible. Hope you aren't too attached to your ear drums boy hahahahahhah!"

Dohnaseek attacked again and again with more and more sonic attack making Haru nearly pass out from the shear pain of having his sensitive hearing subjected to such a painful mind splitting attack over and over again, he couldn't even see straight anymore let alone stand up, every attempt just led to another attack and him in even more pain.

Dohanseek finally got tired of attacking with his gear and punted Haru across the room, slamming into the wall by the door leaving a huge spider crack.

Haru coughs up blood and covers his chest in a vain attempt to prevent more damage to that area, three of his ribs were broken just from that attack any more damage and he'll pass out leaving him at the mercy of that maniac. "Time to die filth!" Dohnaseek prepares to bisect Haru with a blade of light, the blade was just about to cut into his neck when a shot of destruction magic blasted it into oblivion.

Dohnaseek whirled around in fury at the person who denied him his kill standing there was Rias Power of destruction already glowing in her hands, her eyes as cold as glaciers as she looked around the room at her fallen peerage, Akeno in her Shrine Maiden outfit with a cruel looking smirk on her face and her eyes thunderous in their fury and his three former comrades looking at him in stunned silence.

"You dare get in my way die for your insolence pathetic worms!" Dohnaseek tries to use his gear on them but it glows bright red and the normal whistle becomes a horrifying screech that made him cringe in pain and hold his ears from the backlash of the faulty gear, the attack continued and even though his eyesight was failing he still managed to power through it and formed a large light spear and prepared to throw it at them.

Schink!

Dohnaseek stumbles and gasps, warm blood drops out of his mouth as he looks down at his chest in complete shock, down in his chest cavity a hand is sticking out of his chest with his heart clenched in it, still beating and all the arteries and veins still connected to it, the hand ignites in pure red flames, encasing the heart and the veins in magical fire that burned Dohnaseek as he screams in pain, the hand was yanked back, tearing the heart back out with it and behind him Haru squashes the heart in his hand, flames up his foot and spin kicks Dohnaseeks head clean off in a showy display of blood, gore and flames.

The body drops to the floor as the head falls through the sky and lands nearby a look of shock frozen on its features, Haru drops to the floor his wounds and exhaustion finally catching up to him, Raynare runs to him.

"Haru!" She lends him her shoulder a look of affectionate worry on her face, Haru looks at her and smiles warmly and then looks over to Rias and the others, "I think this will do us for tonight Gremory-san better take your peerage home and heal them up, you did good work today so be proud of yourself and your peerage."

Haru turned his attention to Kalawarner and Mittlet, "As for you two, you're coming with me, and no arguments, I'm really not in the best of moods for bullshit right now." Kalawarner and Mittlet shared a look and shrugged their shoulders.

"Where are we going exactly?" Haru smiled softly.

"Home."

Welp this is a wrap hope you all liked the chapter this is Uub with you the Beta and semi-co-author (if Deacon accepts me as such) of this story, though it's mostly his great work so give a round of applause to the guy 'clap,clap,clap woohooo' again hope you all liked it and if you have any suggestions or any opinions or even flames for Haru (as long as you keep it civil we'll take any we don't take shit tasting flames just ask Natsu and Totomaru :P)

now for some of the reviewers response

to light ultra,guest,tsundere,cloud,Frank,Est and Xearthes: well I think if you're already reading this it's obvious in this chappy wish granted.

to 11eyes: well I honestly haven't thought of that but we'll look into it if we found a way to fit her a role in our plot then why not? but for now it's up in the air sorry

to Jose19: True Raynare is a fallen angel and thus naturally has high level of lust but the same could be said for devils and while yes they aren't exactly shameful,they are young girls (or maidens if you will) and want true love/romance in all its meaning but due to their inexperience they may sometimes fall in awkward situation or feel some insecurities after all they have a myriad of emotions and hidden depths,we're merely trying to flesh them out ,hope this sates your curiosity.

Now I don't want to be a bearer of bad news on my end but the next chapter may or may not take some time to get out as deacon is feeling a bit under the weather as well as being busy with real life but alas so the world turns, in the mean time hope you all enjoyed yourselves with this chappy,leave reveiws,suggestions or point out any grammatical errors (I'm seriously rusty on my english to be honest so there could be some awkward phrases here and there) and all that jazz and I bid you adieu.
